"Just spent 45 of some of the most excruciating minutes of my life waiting OUTSIDE my locked running car while my baby waited INSIDE. Awful, awful, awful. It's over but I can't stop crying. I am praising the Lord for the cooler weather and the Bubble Guppies DVD (she was watching!)"

WTF. Good thing I was off Face book because I would have Freddy Krueger'd through the internet and ...arggghhh. You get the picture. Its too easy for them to just ad lib some god BS in any situation and suddenly it is ok.

An Omnipowerful God needed to sacrifice himself to himself (but only for a long weekend) in order to avert his own wrath against his own creations who he made in a manner knowing that they weren't going to live up to his standards.

Shouldn't she more angry at Her Lord for creating her dimwittedness (which caused her to lock herself out and her daughter in the car)? Instead she praises him for cooler weather and bubble guppies DVD? Something wrong with that thinking process.

OK, I did something really stupid, but fortunately things worked out fine. I see no need to praise an imaginary super being for his/her intervention.

A confidence man knows he's lying; that limits his scope. But a successful shaman believes what he says — and belief is contagious; there is no limit to his scope.

Crucio (Cruciatus Curse)Main article: Unforgivable CursesAdded by ThelegendprincePronunciation: KROO-shea-oh Description: Inflicts intense pain on the recipient of the curse; the pain is described as having hot knives being driven into the victim. It cannot be cast successfully by a person who is doing so out of pure spite or anger; one must feel a true desire to cause the victim pain. If one casts this spell, he or she will receive a life sentence in prison for it, as with the other three unforgivable curses. Seen/Mentioned: Used multiple times from the fourth book onward. Etymology: Latin crucio means "I torture".

The point implicit in what she said was that god orchestrated a testing moment (to teach her to be more careful next time) but her child was never in danger, because as a good xian, god always looks after her. She's not the only special person in god's green earth, but she's sure she's at least ONE of them.
